Error message

<< < (2/2)

Rhaevyn:
I have an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT and my current drivers:  nv4_disp.dll - 6.14.0011.7516.  I got that error ONCE.  I rebooted my machine and haven't seen it since.  This happened while playing Sims 2 shortly after all the installing and logging in and out of the game after bringing my newly rebuilt rig home.  The guy who upgraded it for me inverted the back fan to be sure there was extra air blowing on the card and so far so good.  I don't have any program to test the temp or anything but I haven't had any errors, save that one time, so it seems to be doing OK.

My issues with game are not due to my video card drivers, unfortunately.

Now that I've read this I'll be sure and keep an eye on things.  Hope you both find solutions for your issue!

Does the error occur if you run Windowed? Based on when I've seen the error, it is unlikely it will occur in windowed mode.

Hello.

I've been getting the same error message: D3DERR_NOTAVAILBALE , it started about a month after changing the Video Card form ATI to Nvidia.

I did try a few versions of drivers, including non official... results remain the same (and did change the power source to a better one).

Also did try to play in windowed mode, but the game crash anyway, however with a diferent message, relating to the board itself (can't remember it correctly, and I'm at work right now)

Quite probably I will give up and downgrade for my old video card... at least I still can trust that one.

ps.: I have installed SPs up to FT, patched. If it is of any relevance, the erro occur's with or without custom content.

Sorry for the bad english... not my first language (obviously)
